Mashup Score: 0Substance Use Among Young Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer With Cognitive Impairment: An Analysis of the Project Forward Cohort - 1 year(s) ago
PURPOSE: Young adult childhood cancer survivors (YACCSs) are often impacted by cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) and psychological distress. Using the Project Forward Cohort, we evaluated the relationship between CRCI and substance use behaviors. METHODS: YACCSs were surveyed between 2015 and 2018 (N = 1,106, female = 50.8%, Hispanic = 51.5%, median age = 25.5 years). Associations…

Mashup Score: 4
In the spring of 2022, a man with a persistent cough sought care at an emergency department and was ultimately diagnosed with metastatic testicular cancer. He is presumably undergoing treatment though we do not know if that is true. We say presumably because we do not personally know this patient. We only know of him because we saw his chest X-ray on social media in a post that challenged the…

Mashup Score: 0Sociodemographic Differences in Patient-Reported Pain and Pain Management of Patients With Head and Neck Cancer in a Community Oncology Setting - 1 year(s) ago
PURPOSE: While pain is prevalent among survivors of head and neck cancer (HNC), there is a lack of data on pain management in the community oncology setting. We described sociodemographic correlates and disparities associated with patient-reported pain among patients with HNC. METHODS: We used the 2017-2021 nationwide community oncology data set from Navigating Cancer, which included electronic…

Mashup Score: 1A Learning Health System Approach to Cancer Survivorship Care Among LGBTQ+ Communities - 1 year(s) ago
PURPOSE: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals who receive primary care services at community health centers are often referred to external specialty care centers after cancer diagnosis, upon which primary care services are disrupted and may be discontinued because of gaps in communication between primary and oncologic care providers. This qualitative study evaluated…

Mashup Score: 0Comparison of Oncologist and Model Estimates of Risk for Hospitalization During Systemic Therapy for Advanced Cancer - 1 year(s) ago
PURPOSE: A validated risk model with inputs of pretreatment sodium and albumin can identify patients at risk for hospitalization during cancer treatment. We evaluated how the model compares with risk estimates from treating oncologists. METHODS: We evaluated the 30-day risk of hospitalization or death in patients starting palliative-intent systemic therapy for solid tumor malignancy. For each…

A 2-variable risk model (using pre-tx sodium & albumin) performed as well as the treating oncologist in identifying pts at risk for hospitalization w/in 30d of palliative intent chemo. A hybrid model may improve prediction 🎯 even more. 👉 https://t.co/IrfB3bNbnw @gabe_a_brooks https://t.co/bCE5zKgiEW
